Snow cover trends in Canada
This article examines the average area covered by snow (snow cover extent) nationally for the 39 year period from 1972 to 2010 and is the fifth in an ongoing series of short analytical articles featuring climate related data. This and future articles in the series are the product of ongoing collaboration among Statistics Canada, Environment Canada and Natural Resources Canada.
Environmentally friendly behaviours of Canadian households and the impact on residential energy consumption
This study uses the 2007 Households and the Environment Survey and its Energy Use Supplement to analyze the relationship between "environmentally friendly" behaviours in general and energy consumption in Canadian households. The results indicate that residential energy consumption in Canada is largely related to factors such as type of dwelling, heated area and number of persons in the household and that environmentally friendly behaviours had little effect on households' annual energy consumption.
